2 He had no money. I gave/gone/given him 20 dollars.

Pozor! Niektoré nepravidelné tvary bežných anglických slovies majú aj celkom iné významy. Napr. tvar saw je po slovensky aj podstatné meno píla, tvar thought je tiež myšlienka, tvar broke je aj prídavné meno znamenajúce na mizine, bez peňazí. Napr.: I'm broke. - Som na mizine., Som bez peňazí. Found je tvar slovesa find, ale tiež infinitív pravidelného slovesa, ktoré znamená založiť (organizáciu ap.) Môžete teda v minulom čase naraziť na tvar founded, ktorý však nie je tvarom slovesa find! Napr. He founded a city. - Založil mesto. ALE He found a city. - Našiel mesto.

Upravte vety z budúceho času do minulého. Všímajte si analógie.

9 Will they send it?
13 Who will buy it?
2 Bob will come alone.
3 They'll speak about us.
6 Jane will make dinner.
4 I'll send it to you.
11 When will she come?
1 She'll be there.
8 He'll give it to her.
14 I'll let him know.
12 I won't tell him!
10 Will you go there?
7 We'll go there together.
5 You'll break it.

Sloveso let má vo všetkých časoch rovnaký tvar, teda aj v minulom čase. Iba v čase prítomnom jednoduchom má s 3. osobou jednotného čísla tvar lets. Napr.: (minulý čas) She let him sleep. - Nechala ho spať., (prítomný čas jednoduchý) She lets him sleep. - Necháva ho spať. ap. Nezamieňajte však lets (pre 3. osobu) a výzvu let's - let us! Napr. Let's go!

Odpovedzte na otázky celou vetou podľa slov v pomôckach.

11 Did he make any mistakes? many
8 Did they agree? no
10 Did Bob lose it? no, I
2 When did he leave? an hour ago
9 How long did it take? 1 hour
4 Who did you send it to? Bob
3 When did you get up? at six
15 What did he tell you? nothing
1 How did you go there? by car
6 Where did you meet? on the bus
13 What did he know? nothing
5 What did you buy? bananas
12 Did you get my message? no
7 Did anybody call? nobody
14 What did you speak about? you
16 What did you drink? beer

Slovo drunk je 3. tvar (minulé príčastie - PP) slovesa drink, ale tiež prídavné meno opitý. Podobné je to s mnohými anglickými slovesami, napr. so slovesom break a jeho tvarom broken (rozbitý, zlomený), give - given (daný), find - found (nájdený), know - known (známy) či so slovesom go a tvarom gone. Spojenie be gone znamená byť preč. He's gone. - Je preč. (Odišiel.)

Povedzte po anglicky.

12 Dostal som od neho správu.
1 Bol som tam včera.
16 Skúšal som to dvakrát.
15 Jej priateľ pred rokom zomrel.
19 Zabudnime na to.
17 Nechal som to na tvojom stole.
14 Videl som ju minulý týždeň.
10 Urobil si chybu.
13 Stretol som ho včera.
8 Čo si robil včera večer?
6 Kedy volala?
2 Boli ste tam tiež?
9 Nemohol som ho zastihnúť.

20 Nehovorme o tom!
3 Neboli doma.
5 Išiel tam sám?
11 Poslala mi správu.
4 Kto tam išiel?
7 Odišla pred minútou.

Slovo alone znamená slovensky sám, ale iba ak hovoríme, že niekto je bez sprievodu, osamotený ap. Napr.: I live alone. - Bývam sám., Leave me alone. - Nechajte ma (o samote). Ak chceme vyjadriť, že niekto niečo urobil sám (bez cudzej pomoci), treba použiť zvratné zámeno, ktoré mení tvary podľa osoby: I - myself, you - yourself, he - himself. Napr. “Urobil som to sám.” - I did it myself., “Vyrobil to sám.” - He made it himself. ap. Viac pozri Zvratné zámená v Lekcii 11.

Pozor na rozdiel vo význame medzi friend a boyfriend pri preklade slovenského priateľ! Friend je všeobecne priateľ ako kamarát. Boyfriend resp. girlfriend je priateľ resp. priateľka ako partner či partnerka v ľúbostnom vzťahu.
